"Bayern offer was the best, but not the most profitable"

Pep Guardiola signed a deal with Bayern Munich before Christmas, as revealed on 'Efe Radio' by Josep Maria Orobitg –the former Barcelona coach's agent–, who said the contract had been signed "around the 20th December".

Orobitg confirmed that Guardiola opted for the German side because of all the offers he received, this was the best one. There were a lot of offers on the table. This one (Bayern) is not the club that was offering the most money. He chose the club "because of its organisation, the potential he sees and the players it has", said the Catalan's agent.

Guardiola's representative went on to reveal that teams like Roma and AC Milan had contacted the man-in-demand: "Everyone was talking about the offers that were made, meetings that took place, ones that didn't take place and trips that never happened. A lot has been printed on the matter", Orobitg concluded in reference to the manager's much-talked-about future.
